Battle Chickens but no Brewing?!

Stratics Veteran

Battle Chickens seem to come out of left field. I have seem some chicken fighting tournaments, but the last I heard they kinda fizzled. However, repeated interest, and many excellent ideas have been discussed regarding a brewing skill.

I applaud the hard work that the devs have put into imbuing so I don't want to seem ungrateful... but to think that a good bit of work has been put into something that smacks of animal cruelty just kinda bothers me a bit.

We have already been through this and it turned into a hate thread so I won't be posting here again after this one as I think it is lame and a waste of board space. Animal cruelty? Really? *sighs again* Pixels man...pixels (NOT REAL LIFE)

Actually the animal cruelty remark was tongue-in-cheek. I was not aware of the original thread so apologies there. I am serious about the brewing though... someday. Everyone knows the Devs are busy, and the part about appreciating their hard work was well meant.

As i was Eving dragons and lava lizards, I thought how cruel it would be to battle chickens in the game. So i went out to skin some animals for leather to make some gold.

cough... brewing? don't we already have alchemy? don't we already have cooking? if anything, brewing would just be another skill like masonry or glassblowing after you gm cooking.

but why bother? eating doesn't do anything, neither does drinking. i'm not sure we need yet another useless skill in the game. if you are really that bored why not try begging or herding or taste identification or camping?

Seems the Dev team has no love for the idea of brewing. Here is a post from Regine back late last year when I asked her for brewing.

It's not in the works. But it's part of my wish list (hops anyone?). But my wish list is mighty long and my more urgent task list including bug fixes is even longer. The long term plan is to make most of the peculiar plants produce a resource that will tie in with the crafting system: cooking, alchemy, tailoring and inscription (not sold yet on the plans for carpentry and tinkering).

So short answer:

brewing = hopefully
ETA = your guess is as good as mine

So us players have to figure out a way to show how brewing could/would help either the taming template,bug fixes,or PvP in some way.
